Carpet Flooring
Carpet is the perfect choice for rooms where you want warmth and comfort. With so many options available, it's hard to know which factors are most important. Never fear! Here are some pointers for picking the right carpet for your home.
Step 1
Determine your level of foot traffic. Face it; some areas of your house get trampled while others remain more pristine. When shopping for carpet, you'll want to determine how much activity takes place in your room. Entryways and family rooms are high-traffic areas; formal living rooms and guest rooms most likely have less traffic.
Step 2
Rate the carpet product features you want most. Do you want super soft carpet, or are you looking for superior stain resistance? Today's advanced carpet fibers and finishes give you superior performance in several areas, so don't feel like you need to compromise on one feature to get another.
Step 3
Determine the amount of carpet you need. Accurate room measurements will help you get the most accurate price on your carpeting to help you stay within your budget. Flooring America offers FREE, no-obligation room measure appointments. Call for yours today.
Step 4
Start shopping. This is the fun part! Take accent pieces, paint swatches or other portable, decorative items to the showroom so you can find the carpet that suits both your needs and your décor!
Your locally owned Flooring America store is proud to be part of the nation's largest floor buying group. With 17,432 floors to choose from, we're confident you'll find the carpet you want at a price you'll love!

An Australian court has ruled that a Melbourne man was defamed by Google. Why? Because the search giant had posted images linked to his name on Google Images, implying that he was a criminal. Milorad "Michael" Trkulja was victorious in a similar case against Yahoo in March 2012, where he won A$250,000 ($233,000). The Victoria Supreme Court's Justice David Beach is expected to rule on damages next week.
Trkulja, who has lived in Australia for 42 years, was shot in the back by a masked man while at a restaurant in the Melbourne suburbs in 2004.
Subsequently, searches on Google Images brought up pictures of himself and other people—alleged murderers and drug traffickers—with his name listed below. Trkulja argued the caption "Melbourne Crime" (which was the name of the now-defunct website that had published the photos) might lead some Internet users to believe he was a criminal.
According to the BBC, Trkulja also complained the first hit as part of a Google search on his name was this sentence: "Former music promoter Michael Trkulja was shot in the back by a hitman wearing a balaclava while dining at a St. Albans restaurant in June 2004."
The man from the former Yugoslavia said this established a "false innuendo" that a hitman had been hired to kill him—and that others had deliberately avoided contact with him in public as a result.
Trkulja requested that Google remove the images and the link in 2009, but neglected to include the offending URL for the text search. As a result, Google was not found liable for the Web search results, but was found liable for defamation surrounding the image indexing in question.
''I feel great,'' he told the Sydney Morning Herald. ''I feel vindicated. It was a David and Goliath battle, a single man standing against a giant using all money and power available to them to squash an innocent person.''
Google has not commented on the case, nor has the company said whether it will appeal the ruling.

I've always had mixed feelings about Yom Hashoa, on the one hand it would have been preferable to honor our martyrs on the individual anniversaries if only these were known, on the other hand not only are most death anniversaries unknown, many of the 6,000,000 left no one to even remember them. No one to remember, nothing more than the indelible blood stains on the souls of their murderers, on the souls of those who publicly and privately rejoiced, on the souls of those who turned a blind eye, on the souls of those who perhaps winced and forgot it, on the souls of those who deny history…
As I reread my last year's post (The Proper Way to Die), my eyes swell up, though I've read and heard this story many a time, I doubt I could say anything new here so forgive me for posting it again…
In a world where there are Holocaust deniers, where European cities (in deference to Muslims living there) have decided to do away with Holocaust commemorations, in a world where schools in the UK find it expedient (in the interest of a misguided, pernicious, "Political Correctness") to ignore important historical facts (such as the Holocaust), I thought I should tell a simple story today Yom Hasho'a – the day that commemorates the Holocaust.
There are 6,000,000 stories of those that died, I cannot tell them all! Many of these are known, some (most, like their protagonists and their families) have totally vanished from the human mind, from any surviving record. Some are stories of unbelievable strength, others are more mundane but all unequivocally show an unconquerable spirit. A spirit that no Nazi power could break, no enemy before, no enemy after can destroy.
This is the Story of Rabbi Zvi Michelson, one of Warsaw's oldest rabbi's who at the age of 79, became just another of the 700,000 Jews killed in the death camps of Treblinka.
Early in 1942 the Germans first began their systematic raids in the Warsaw ghetto, snatching Jewish men, women and children from the warrens in which they had been "resettled" and transporting them to the extermination camps.
In the very first of these raids, the Germans aided by Ukrainian soldiers surrounded the house in which Rabbi Michelson lived, shouting through the megaphones that all those inside were to come out into the courtyard. All the Jews in the building obeyed the German command – except for Rabbi Michelson, who refused to budge. Those who would remain in their rooms, he reasoned, would soon be routed out by the German soldiers. Their travail would not last long; they would be gunned down on the spot, and their bodies would be flung into the street. There, chances were that other Jews would find them, pile them upon the carts that creaked through the ghetto alleys to collect the dead and bury them in accordance with Jewish law. Those who would go to the Germans in the courtyard, on the other hand, would be loaded by the storm troopers onto trucks and taken to the death camps. There they would die, too, but not without suffering. Even worse, from what the rabbi had heard, they would not be buried at all but cremated, in violation of the Torah. And so Rabbi Michelson prepared himself to meet death as he felt befitted a man of age and tradition. He put on his phylacteries, draped his tallith (prayer shawl) around his spare body, bolted the door of his room and waited for the Germans to come.
But things did not happen the way the rabbi had expected. Yes, the Germans, accompanied by a Jewish ghetto policeman, kicked open the door and burst into Rabbi Michelson's room. But when the storm troopers saw the old man with the long flowing white beard standing upright before them, stern of countenance and draped from shoulders to feet in his snowy-white, silver -bordered prayer robe, they were immobilized by awe, indeed by a fear, such as they probably never knew before. Years later, the ghetto policeman, who survived the war, was to tell the end of the story. "Why, it is Moses himself!" the policeman heard one of the Germans mutter. With that, the German silently turned and led the others out of the room, slamming the door and leaving Rabbi Michelson untouched.
Alone in his little room, the rabbi could hear the babble of the crowd in the courtyard below, mingled with the raucous shouts of the German soldiers. From his tiny window, he could see the others from his house being shoved into onto huge German army trucks. And a thought far more frightening than death came to Rabbi Michelson. True, he had been granted a a miraculous reprieve. But for how long? When the Germans would recover from their surprise, they would return and shoot him. That is how he would die, and he would die alone. In effect, by refusing to leave his room he had run away like a coward; he had deserted his brethren. Which, he asked himself, was the proper alternative – to die alone, with the chance that he alone might be found by some survivors outside and be given proper burial, or go out to his brethren and be with them on their last journey? Which was the proper way to die?
It did not take Rabbi Michelson more than a moment to make his decision. He turned from the window, adjusted his tallith, and strode from the room. With firm steps, he descended the stairs and marched out into the courtyard. There he joined the others on their way to the Umschlagplatz, the assembly point from where they all were to be taken to Treblinka. He remained a source of comfort and inspiration to his brethren, and when the end came, he shared their fate. He is among the millions who have no graves, but he has a lasting memorial in the annals of valor and uprightness.
Being the son of Holocaust survivors (the younger sibling of a brother I never got to meet, killed at age 3 for the heinous crime of having been born a Jew), I've heard hundreds of stories of unbearable horrors and indescribable courage, stories that show the greatness and the baseness of human beings, stories that reveal deep character flaws and hidden jewels but… neither can I retell them all here nor would you, gentle reader, bear to read them all. Therefore I chose one story to stand as a monument to all the known ones and all those that shall forever remain buried… like the people who lived them…
Perhaps a better title would have been a Proper Way to Live….

Spambot observation: Do spambots only hit the first form?
by, 04-24-2017 at 11:02 AM (24608 Views)
A few years ago, I set up a web page that contained several different forms. I don't really know much about how spambots work (does anyone?) but, after a few weeks, it started taking hits - the usual junk about mail order brides and marketing advice, etc. The strange thing was that the spam only ever came in on the very first form - that is, via the form that appeared uppermost in the HTML - and it happened with too much predictability and regularity for it to just be coincidence.
This led me to wonder about how spambots actually "think"? Do they attack a form and, once they've done their damage, say "Ha, I have done my evil deed. Now I must run away quickly before I am caught, and find another form to defile!". Hmmm, maybe they do, in whatever programming language they use (although, most likely, they don't). Well, this got me thinking; if their behaviour is so predictable, can I use it against them as a simple anti-spam measure?
So I devised a little test.
Create a decoy form
On the attacked page, I inserted a decoy contact form at the very top of my HTML and commented it out with the standard HTML commenting tags. Anybody viewing the page normally via a browser would not see this form, but a code-crawling spambot would (the code at least) and hopefully be tempted into the trap;Now, the form action attribute of this decoy form pointed to a "form-trick-action.php" script that just fired off a spam-alert email to me so I could see when the bots attacked. And boy did it work! 25-100 spam emails per day sent off into the ether to a temporary email account. I recreated this test again recently so I could show you a sample screen cap of the inbox;Code:
Include a "trap" field in your real form
Next came the real form towards the bottom of the HTML. For this I used an almost identical version of the decoy form above, except with a real form action, and slightly different fields names. It also had one extra critical feature - an extra input field named "website". I chose a plausibly legitimate name ("website") to trick the spambots - the logic being that if I had used something more obvious, like "antispam", the little blighters might have avoided itYou might be wondering why I wanted the bots to target this extra field. The answer lies in the next chunk of code that I added to the "form-real-action.php" script;Code:;<form action="form-real-action.php" method="post" name="form"> Full Name: <input type="text" name="name">
 Email Address: <input type="email" name="email">
 <input type="text" name="website" id="website">Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea>
 <input type="submit" value="Send Message"> </form>
Ignore bots, process humansPlease note, this code is not a complete script. It is just a sample, stripped down to the basics so you can see the working method.Code:<?php if(empty($_POST['website'])) { // if the "website" field is empty, send email ... $to = "email@example.com"; $subject = "Contact Message Received"; $message = "Message from: $_POST['name'],\n\n On email address: $_POST['email'],\n\n Message:\n\n $_POST['message']"; $headers = "From: firstname.lastname@example.com"; $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); header("Location: http://www.mywebsite.com/thanks.php"); // redirect to "Thank You" page ... exit(); } else { // if the "website" field contains any input, do nothing (no email sent) ... exit(); } ?>
Put simply, if the "website" field remained empty, then the script would send me an email - the true contact message from a real person. If however the "website" field was not empty, and contained input when the form was submitted, the script stopped dead.
Hide the "trap" field from humans
Of course at the moment there is a blinding flaw in this logic - the "website" field would be clearly visible on the web page (although not labelled), and accessible by the general public, so I employed a bit of CSS to hide it from humans. You might already have noticed that I gave the "website" field an id of "website" too, so it could easily be hidden with the following CSS;Once the "website" field was hidden with the CSS, humans couldn't accidentally type anything into it and the script would allow the email to be sent to me.Code:#website { display:none; }
In conclusion
My theory appears to be correct. Spambots really do focus on spamming the first form they find, before scarpering as quickly as possible, so if the first form they come to happens to be a decoy, their efforts are fruitless. This approach has almost seen an end to my spam problems. Once the initial tests had been done, I turned off the spam-alert emails that the decoy form was generating and that left the real email account free to receive real contact form messages from real visitors.
Use this knowledge to protect against form spam
- Include a simple decoy form at the top of the HTML / web page and comment it out with standard HTML comment tags - the spambots will see it, try to attack it, and then move on.
- Include a "trap" field on your real form that the processing php script will check for input - input = bot (exit) / empty = human (process).
- Hide the "trap" field with CSS so that a visitor can't type anything into it accidentally.
Of course I'm not saying that this should be the only method of anti-spam protection that you use - you should try to factor in a combination of more robust procedures to stop those vicious little fiends dead in their tracks, such as JavaScript form encryption, CAPTCHA and filtering - but one more arrow in your quiver is sure to help.

Sorry, Apple—French publishers will set the price you can charge for their e-books, according to a new French law.
Passed last week by both houses of the French parliament, the new law updates France's 1981 "Lang Law" setting prices for paper books. Under that law, publishers could print their price on the back cover a book and every bookstore in the country had to sell it for about that price. A tiny 5 percent discount was the maximum allowed by law, as Amazon found out years ago when a judge held it liable for violating the Lang Law by offering free shipping on its books. (This amounted to more than 5 percent off the list price.)
The new law brings that principle into the digital age, but with a twist: it attempts to apply itself outside France, as well. Under the new scheme, it is publishers who will set a single price for their e-books, which distributors must follow. So long as the publisher is French, distributors must abide by the list price even if based elsewhere.
The point of such laws is to keep prices up in order to fund French culture and insulate it from the ruthlessness of the market. It also provides a level playing field for retailers; mom-and-pop booksellers can compete even with the largest of hypermarchés, since everyone's selling at the same price. The downside for book buyers, of course, is that books don't go on sale.
Still, French politicians love the law. As MP Christian Kert put it last week, "Must we recall how the regulation created by the Lang Law has helped ensure cultural diversity and editorial creativity, accompanying the almost continuous growth of the market of French books for thirty years? We also know that book prices are favorable to the public."
This is essentially the "agency model" written into national law. Booksellers in the US forced Amazon to adopt such a model, where the publisher—and not Amazon—sets the sale price, and similar pricing laws exist for paper books in other European countries like Germany. Apple uses such a model, too.
But France is the first to throw the law at e-books, and it's quite pleased with that fact. "I am happy, as we all must be tonight, that our gathering is prepared to vote definitively on what will be the first such law in the world for digital books—a pioneering text in our ever-changing world," said MP Hervé Gaymard last week as a joint parliamentary commission presented its final version of the bill text.
French Culture Minister Mitterand said that "the book remains a unique cultural artifact, irreducible to a solely commercial dimension Thirty years after the Lang Law on book prices, here is founding legislation for the book trade and the regulation of cultural industries in the digital age."
And he expressed his firm belief that "the editor should to be able to control the value of the book, regardless of the location of the distributer. I am therefore delighted that the balance struck by the joint committee allows distributors in France of playing on equal footing with those outside our borders."
This raises obvious questions, including: is the EU really going to let this happen? Not even France knows. At yesterday's e-G8 meeting on intellectual property, Mitterand expressed his hope that France's "European friends" would not interfere.
But as Publishing Perspectives noted back in March, the European Commission has already raided French publishers on suspicions of e-book price fixing. And trying to impose French law on non-French distributors raises huge legal questions that France hopes to massage away under the EU's "cultural exception" (national laws deemed necessary to protect local cultures can sometimes avoid EU scrutiny).

Injured QB Miller done for the season
COLUMBUS – Ohio State star quarterback Braxton Miller will miss the 2014 season, dealing a severe blow to the fifth-ranked Buckeyes' national title hopes.
Ohio State confirmed late Tuesday afternoon that Miller reinjured his throwing shoulder and will need surgery. The two-time Big Ten player of the year left practice in pain Monday after making a short throw.
"My goal is to come back from this injury stronger and better than ever," Miller said in a statement.
It's a huge blow to a team considered to be one of the best in the Big Ten and the country, one which already has several major holes to fill on offense.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Braxton and his family," Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said. "This is an unfortunate injury to a young man who means so much to this program."
The senior and three-year starter partially tore the labrum in his right shoulder in a loss to Clemson at the Orange Bowl. He had surgery, did not face contact in spring practice and was held out of several practices this month due to soreness.
Redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett is Miller's top backup and will likely be the starter in the Aug. 30 opener against Navy in Baltimore.
Miller said he was on schedule to graduate with a degree in Communications in December and that he also wanted to attend graduate school, "and then return to lead the Buckeyes next season."
Miller's options would include taking a medical redshirt and returning to Ohio State for one more season in 2015, or rehabbing the injury and making himself available for the NFL draft in the spring. He toyed with the idea of turning pro last spring but decided against it because of the shoulder surgery might hurt him with pro teams.
With a schedule that includes games at defending Big Ten champion Michigan State on Nov. 8, at Penn State on Oct. 25 and a Sept. 6 date at home against Virginia Tech, the Buckeyes are suddenly confronted by a lot of question marks.
Miller's injury in Monday's practice, first reported by The Columbus Dispatch, came on a routine, unrushed rollout pass. Miller reportedly left the field after screaming in pain but was upbeat later while getting his shoulder iced. He had his arm in a sling on Monday night.
Miller is one of the Big Ten's most decorated quarterbacks, and the falloff in experience compared to his backups is huge.
He has thrown 666 passes in his glittering three-year career, starting as a freshman. Barrett has never played in a game, and sophomore Cardale Jones threw his only two collegiate passes during a 56-0 rout of Purdue.
Miller has also run for 32 touchdowns and passed for 52, putting him in reach of many of Ohio State's career records at his position.
Barrett was an acclaimed four-star recruit out of Wichita Falls, Texas, who watched with Jones last year as Miller took most of the snaps in the Buckeyes' 12-2 season. When Miller was hurt for most of the San Diego State, California and Florida A&M games with a sprained knee, senior Kenny Guiton had big games while leading Ohio State to victories.
The Buckeyes are also replacing four of their five starting offensive linemen, their leading receiver (Corey Brown) and 1,500-yard rusher Carlos Hyde from last year's 11-2 team.
Barrett completed 17 of 33 passes for 151 yards with no interceptions and no touchdowns in Ohio State's annual spring intrasquad scrimmage. Because of Miller's problems with his shoulder, Barrett has gotten a lot of practice time with the Buckeyes' first-team offense in the spring and in recent weeks.
Miller hurt originally hurt his shoulder on the first possession against Clemson in the Orange Bowl, but played the rest of the way in the 40-35 loss. Soon after the injury was discovered, he had surgery in February.
Ohio State said at the time that Miller had "minor, outpatient surgery." But he has had problems with the shoulder since.
Still, he has repeatedly said he would be ready to go in the opener, and did so again between practices on Monday. His workload had been reduced to avoid any ongoing soreness in the arm.
At the Buckeyes' media day, Miller said his arm felt good and he was able to throw as much as he liked.
The injury is perhaps the most crippling at Ohio State since tailback Keith Byars was second to Doug Flutie in the Heisman Trophy race in 1985 but then missed almost all of the following season with a broken bone in his foot.

Morrison's 'Beloved' named best fiction in the last 25 years
The New York Times Book Review has named "Beloved," a 1987 novel by Princeton Professor Toni Morrison, the best work of American fiction published in the past quarter century.
In an article posted on the Times' Web site and slated for publication in the May 21 edition, Book Review Editor Sam Tanenhaus reports the results of a survey he conducted of prominent writers, critics, editors and other literary figures. He asked them to identify "the single best work of American fiction published in the last 25 years." A total of 124 people are on the list of judges, including Russell Banks, Michael Chabon, Don DeLillo, Jonathan Safran Foer, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Nadine Gordimer, Jim Harrison, John Irving, Stephen King, Wole Soyinka, William Styron, Studs Terkel, Anne Tyler and Tom Wolfe as well as Morrison's colleagues on the Princeton faculty, Chang-rae Lee and Edmund White.
"The best works of fiction, according to our tally, appear to be those that successfully assume a burden of cultural importance," writes Times film critic A.O. Scott in an accompanying essay. "They attempt not just the exploration of particular imaginary people and places, but also the illumination of epochs, communities, of the nation itself. America is not only their setting, but also their subject."
Set in post-Civil War Ohio, "Beloved" tells the story of Sethe, an escaped slave who is haunted by the spirit of a murdered child. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988.
"… Morrison's novel has inserted itself into the American canon more completely than any of its potential rivals," Scott writes. "With remarkable speed, 'Beloved' has, less than 20 years after its publication, become a staple of the college literary curriculum, which is to say a classic."
Morrison, the Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities at Princeton, was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1993. She was the first African-American winner and the first woman to win since 1938. She was honored with the National Humanities Medal in 2000 for her contributions to American cultural life and thought and with the National Book Critics Award in 1977 for "Song of Solomon." Her other novels include "Love," "The Bluest Eye," "Sula," "Tar Baby," "Jazz" and "Paradise." She has served on the Princeton faculty since 1989.

Baseball fans know that change is an inevitable rite of spring. One can only hope that the gains outweigh the losses — that for every lost Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham, there's a Jayson Werth or Bryce Harper to get excited about.
So, too, is the case with the rest of the ball park experience, especially at Nationals Park, which is revamping some of its foodservice offerings for the fourth consecutive season, eliminating both Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and my personal favorite, Teddy's Barbeque.
Teddy's Barbeque was a mid-season acquisition in 2009, and was home of the Rough Rider — a jumbo beef short
rib brined for 12 hours then smoked for 12 hours more. Five Guys you can get anywhere, but the Rough Rider was ours — the Park's closest thing to a unique signature dish. It looked like something Fred Flintstone would eat. It was delicious, and there was always a line.
The big steel smokers still stand in the same centerfield location, but
beginning this season they're being used only for hot dogs — or should I say Dawgs.
Yes, Teddy's Barbeque has been replaced by yet another hot dog stand. I can confirm that those smokers impart a great flavor, but the real twist at Xtreme Loaded Dawgs is the toppings.
Choose from The Deli Dog with kraut
and thousand island dressing; The Heater with buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese slaw; the Nach-Yo Dog (top right) with pico de gallo, peppers, cheese and sour cream; the Frito Pie Dog with chili, cheese, and Fritos; or the most outrageous of them all: The Big Kid Dog (bottom right) with macaroni and cheese and Fritos on top.
Whether you find the concept cute or disgusting depends on your perspective, but one thing's indisputable. The flimsy buns can't hold all those wet toppings, so grab plenty of napkins.
While it feels like we've traded down in the centerfield concourse, the team has been working to upgrade the fare just up the escalator at the Miller Lite Scoreboard Walk, with the addition of four new stands from Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group in New York.
Coming soon are four established concepts imported from New York's Citi Field: burgers and custard from the Shake Shack, pit barbecue from Blue Smoke, Belgian-style fries from Box Frites, and Mexican food from El Verano Taquería.
Nats fans should welcome any attempts to upgrade the foodservice and the fan experience, yet these off-season moves leave a bad taste in my mouth. It feels like we've traded away a unique signature player for some journeyman ones that will just help Mets fans feel more at home at Nationals Park.
UPDATE: While the new Miller Scoreboard Walk restaurants aren't open yet, Teddy's Barbeque has been set up under a tent up there. Unfortunately, they do not have the Rough Rider rib, but they do have the pulled pork and pulled chicken. Location is on the upper level directly across from the scoreboard under a white tent.

1 dead in plane crash near New Smyrna Beach airport
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- The president of a New Smyrna Beach airport group was killed Wednesday when his plane hit a tree, "disintegrated" and exploded shortly after taking off.
Paul Rooy, 56, of Daytona Beach, was flying the six-seat, twin-engine Cessna 337. He was president of the Friends of New Smyrna Beach Airport.
"He clipped one of my trees and then hit the power lines," said Rick Chapman, 60, who saw the crash. "That plane disintegrated."
The plane had just taken off and crashed in an open field near the city's sports complex about 1:13 p.m., said Volusia County sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson. The plane, a 1968 model, broke apart on impact, killing Rooy, Davidson said.
No one else was on board and no one on the ground was injured, he said.
The aircraft is registered to Royalair Aviation Inc. out of Daytona Beach. Rooy is a patent attorney who headed up the Friends of New Smyrna Beach Airport, which advocates for businesses and private pilots who use the airfield that fronts U.S. 1. In recent years Rooy and the organization have been in an ongoing battle with nearby residents complaining about airplane noise.
A man at Rooy's Daytona Beach home said the family did not want to comment.
Arlen Stauffer, chairman of New Smyrna Beach Balloon & Sky Fest, said Rooy is "going to be missed very deeply by a lot of people."
"He was involved in many organizations and always in leadership positions," Stauffer said. "That's the kind of guy he was."
Sandy Carter, a receptionist at the building where Rooy has an office, said she did not know Rooy well but people who did said he loved to fly.
According to Rooy's personal website, he was an airline transport pilot, multi-engine and instrument flight instructor and advanced ground instructor. His experience also included flying demonstration tours around South America.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is conducting a routine death investigation, while the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash.
Chapman said he saw the crash while standing outside with his wife as the plane went down on property near their New Smyrna Beach home.
Chapman didn't expect anyone survived the crash but still ran to where the plane hit just in case. He said he saw a man dead inside the plane.
"If there's anybody else, I didn't find them," Chapman said.
He said there was no fire but the plane exploded on impact.
Chapman said he and his wife saw the plane getting closer and closer and knew what was about to happen.
"I think he was trying to squeeze between two trees," Chapman said. "He missed my barn by about 100 feet."
Rooy wrote three books about flying, including "The Skymaster and the Piranhas," which details a trip he took with his significant other, Mary, up the Amazon River in a light twin aircraft, according to his personal website.
Wednesday's crash is the third fatal plane wreck in Volusia and Flagler counties within a year. In April 2012, a single-engine experimental plane crashed into the roof of a Publix grocery store in DeLand on International Speedway Boulevard. The pilot, Kim Presbrey, would succumb to his injuries nearly two months later. On Jan. 4, three people were killed, likely on impact, when a single-engine airplane crashed into a Palm Coast home on Utica Path.

ConvertKit Review – Is ConvertKit Really Worth the Money?
If you are still on the fence about ConvertKit, read on. This paid service is known for a money back guarantee and a free resource that helps you attract potential customers. But is it worth the price? Is it worth the advanced email automation it provides? We've got the answers in this ConvertKit Review! So, what is ConvertKit? Can it really help you automate your email marketing?
ConvertKit is a paid service
You can sign up for a free 30-day trial of ConvertKit. This trial is available for as many subscribers as you like. All you have to do is enter an email address and choose a password, and you can then begin building your funnel. You can even split test two subject lines if you're curious. ConvertKit uses the first 30% of your emails to determine which one gets more opens. Once you have made your decision, you can create one email with both subject lines. Then, send the rest of the emails to the one that receives the most opens.
ConvertKit's suitability for your email marketing needs depends on your goals. The paid service allows you to build and send out multiple email sequences, including a warm-up and launch sequence, a cheaper substitute product, and additional onboarding emails for purchasers. It also includes an automated tool that makes it easy for you to automate your email campaigns.
There are many plans to choose from, including the free one for newsletter subscribers. To avoid recurring fees, you can opt for annual billing. You'll be billed on the first of each month, or you can upgrade to the next tier for a slightly higher price. As long as you've subscribed to at least 1,000 subscribers, you can get a free trial of ConvertKit, which is good enough for most email marketing needs.
ConvertKit is a great email marketing tool for content creators. It's a powerful and affordable option that serves thousands of content creators. It's easy to see how many top bloggers have made the switch. It's simpler and more intuitive than other options.
It offers a 30-day money-back guarantee
ConvertKit allows you to cancel your trial within 30 days if you aren't sure whether ConvertKit is right for you. There are three levels of service, each with its own set of features. Basic, which is the lowest tier, is free and allows you to send as many emails as possible. The Creator Pro plan is for advanced marketers and offers features such as subscriber engagement scoring. These tools can help you identify which contacts need extra attention by rating them based on their email activity.
Although the 30-day money-back guarantee may seem generous, it might not be necessary for you. ConvertKit's forms are restrictive if you don't use advanced landing pages builders like LeadPages. ConvertKit does not offer bulk imports so you will need to manually import your subscribers. But even if you don't plan on using it for advanced campaigns, you'll have no trouble keeping your list clean with ConvertKit's analytics.
ConvertKit offers a free trial if you are concerned about the cost. For monthly and yearly payments, the company provides two months of service. The money-back guarantee applies to both plans. If you're not satisfied with ConvertKit's service after your trial period, contact their customer support team. There's a 30 day money-back guarantee, and you'll be able to upgrade your account as your list grows.
After the free trial, you will be invited to upgrade your plan to a paid one. You'll be asked to enter your payment details in order to get the upgraded features. The free plan is sufficient if you are only looking for email marketing solutions. If you're not ready to pay for a paid plan, try the Creator Pro plan instead. You'll be glad that you did.
It offers a free resource to attract potential customers
If you're looking to get in front of more potential customers, you might want to use a free resource like an ebook. By offering a free ebook with vegan and non-vegan recipes, you can create a site-wide opt in form. Once your visitors have signed up, ConvertKit will automatically email them your free guide. If your subscribers decide that you're worth following, you can then send them follow-up emails, and follow up with reviews.
A free lead magnet can help you attract more readers to your blog without spending a lot of money on advertising. ConvertKit offers free lead magnets that you can use to attract more visitors. This is an excellent way to attract new customers and increase sales. Although some bloggers can monetize blogs without email, it is better to build an audience through email marketing.
It offers advanced email automation
ConvertKit is an excellent option to automate your email marketing. ConvertKit allows you to segment your email list and create multiple automation rules. The platform provides several features to customize your emails, including automatic tags, ad conditions, and audience segmentation. It integrates with Squarespace, Shopify, Teachable, and Stripe. It can also be used for eCommerce businesses, including advanced email automation features and exclusive buyer's options.
ConvertKit offers an automated workflow builder, which simplifies complex workflows. It allows you add entire emails and forms to your automated sequences. ConvertKit's visual automation creator is easier than ActiveCampaign. You can also customize your subject line and choose one of several pre-made templates. You can also set up emails to be sent at specific times or dates.
If you want to automate your emails, ConvertKit offers 3 pricing plans, each based on the number of subscribers you have. The free plan includes 1,000 subscribers, unlimited landing pages, opt-in incentives, and subscriber tagging. Paid plans include advanced automations and tagging. You can choose from the free plan or Creator Plan, which costs between $29 and $3,999 per month.
With ConvertKit, you can set up broadcast emails, segment lists, and automate your email campaigns. Automations are simple to set up and can be run non-stop. This allows you to tailor your emails to your subscribers' journeys. You can track the number of subscribers who opened an email and whether they unsubscribed. Automations are designed to engage subscribers at every step of the buyer's journey.
It also offers a newsletter referral program
ConvertKit offers a newsletter refer program that can help grow your email list faster than ever. If you're unsure whether or not this is right for you, try the free 14-day trial. You'll soon see why newsletter referral programs are an important part of growing an email list. SparkLoop is a great example of a newsletter refer system that integrates seamlessly with ConvertKit. It provides easy integration with the most popular email marketing services and can be customized to fit your website.
SparkLoop's referral program has five components. First, you can track the number of referrals you receive and how many people have signed up. After three referrals, you can start a secret monthly newsletter that only your referrals can see. A progress bar is another feature of this newsletter referral program. It can be found at the bottom of each newsletter. When your readers refer new members, the progress bar automatically increases and displays the next available reward.
The next step in using a newsletter referral program is to determine the right reward system. Your audience should be able to choose the right rewards. Besides increasing the number of subscribers, you can also track word-of-mouth and use this data to improve your success. Your happy subscribers will already be recommending you to their friends and families, so it makes sense for you to take advantage of this free publicity. Before implementing a newsletter referral system, you need to build a solid base of existing subscribers. Choose a reward system based on your reader's demographics and interests.
In addition to sending out your newsletter to subscribers, you can also reward your subscribers with swag. For example, if you subscribe to Morning Brew, you can send out a special invite to their headquarters. Morning Brew rewards top referrs with free travel. With this referral system, you can reward subscribers for referring their friends. And if you want to get even better results, it's possible to do so without spending any money.

GRANBURY, Texas (AP) — Habitat for Humanity spent years in a North Texas subdivision, helping build many of the 110 homes in the low-income area. But its work was largely undone during an outbreak of 16 tornadoes Wednesday night that killed six people and injured dozens.
On Thursday, authorities combed through debris in Granbury, while residents awaited the chance to see what was left of their homes. Witnesses described the two badly hit neighborhoods as unrecognizable, with homes ripped from foundations and others merely rubble.
Granbury, about 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth, bore the brunt of the damage. The National Weather Service's preliminary estimate was that tornado had wind speeds between 166 and 200 mph. Other tornadoes spawned from the violent spring storm damaged nearby Cleburne and Millsap.
"I tell you, it has just broken my heart," said Habitat for Humanity volunteer Elsie Tallant, who helped serve lunch every weekend to those building the homes in a Granbury neighborhood and those poised to become homeowners.
Hood County Commissioner Steve Berry said Thursday he couldn't tell one street from another in Granbury's Rancho Brazos Estates neighborhood because of the destruction. Half of one home was torn away while the other half was still standing, glasses and vases intact on shelves. Trees and debris were scattered across yards, and fences were flattened. Sheet metal could be seen hanging from utility wires.
The weather service said the preliminary storm estimate for the Granbury tornado was an EF-4, based on the Fujita tornado damage scale. An EF-5 is the most severe.
Of the homes in the Rancho Brazos Estates, 61 of them were built by Habitat for Humanity, according to Gage Yeager, executive director of Trinity Habitat for Humanity in Fort Worth. He said most of those homes were damaged, including at least a dozen that were destroyed.
Raul Rodriguez was among the lucky few: His Habitat for Humanity home was still standing. The 42-year-old mechanic rode the storm out in a closet with his wife and three children. They heard the windows shattering outside but realized their fortune when they emerged to see a heartbreaking scene.
"Injured people, bloody people, started coming to our house, asking us to call 911," said Rodriguez, who has lived in the neighborhood for more than two years. He assessed his own home, finding only shattered windows, lost roof shingles and a collapsed garage.
"My neighbors to the right, they lost everything," he said.
Habitat for Humanity homes, built for low-income buyers using volunteer labor and donations, are financed with affordable loans. The nonprofit selects homeowners based on their level of need, willingness to become partners in the program and ability to repay their loan. Homeowners invest their own time into building the homes as well.
Habitat for Humanity volunteer Bill Jackson said the damaged or destroyed homes were insured and can be rebuilt. But that doesn't alleviate Tallant's pain. She'd gotten to know the people who had waited for years to become homeowners.
"We were going to dedicate a house this weekend, and her home was destroyed," she said.
Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds said Thursday afternoon that two of the dead were women and four of them men; one man and one woman in their 80s.
"Some were found in houses. Some were found around houses," Deeds said. Six or seven people have not been accounted for, he said at a news conference.
"I'm very confident we'll find those people alive and well," Deeds said, adding 37 injured people were treated at hospitals. "We're going to keep looking. We're not going to give up until every piece of debris is turned over."
Harold Brooks, a meteorologist at the weather service's severe storm lab in Norman, Okla., said May 15 is the latest into the month that the U.S. has had to wait for its first significant tornadoes of the year. Brooks said he would expect 2013 to be one of the least lethal tornado years since the agency started keeping records in 1954.
Earlier Thursday, about 20,000 homes and businesses in the region were without power. By the evening, it had dropped to nearly 3,500 homes and businesses.
Another tornado cut a mile-wide path through Cleburne on Wednesday, storm spotters told the National Weather Service. The weather service said it was estimated as an EF-3, which has winds between 136 mph and 165 mph.
Cleburne Mayor Scott Cain said Thursday morning that no one was killed or seriously hurt in the city of about 30,000 some 25 miles southeast of Granbury. Nine people suffered minor injuries, and upward of 150 homes were damaged and another 50 were destroyed.
Cleburne resident Derrek Grisham, 26, said he ran to his mother's home to check on her and his 10-year-old son, who was staying with her.
"I had to kick in the front door to get them out," he said, explaining the two had taken shelter in a bathtub.
On Thursday, he went through his mother's damaged home, salvaging items before the home is likely torn down. The roof had been ripped off and he said her belongings were a jumbled mass, but crosses had stayed in place on the living room wall.

'Gil from Mechanicsville'
Wow, in the course of a few short days, Frank Wren and company turned a negative into a plus with the addition of a former number one over-all draft pick and sometimes misunderstood All-star in Justin Upton. To be honest, I did not see it coming. Along with former number one pick, B J Upton and a young and quickly maturing number one pick Jason Heyward, the Braves have put together an outfield that may only be behind the L A Angels in overall talent and ability, even that may be argued.
Certainly, it is an outfield that could well hit 100 home-runs and drive in 300 runs over the course of a season. That and steal 60 bases, not to mention the potential to save runs which could vastly improve the entire Atlanta's collective ERA.
I have been trying to recollect when the Braves have fielded a trio of outfielders who have brought as much potential for excitement and honestly, I cannot think of another time in Braves history they have had this much talent in the outfield at one time. Most certainly, the starting outfield for the 2013 National League All-star game could have these three players in it. They are that good. To think, in the course of a few short years, the Braves have gone from having one of the weakest outfield to one of the best. Amazing.
Sadly, the acquisition of Justin Upton did not come without a high cost. In addition to three minor league prospects and a once untouchable young starter in Randal Delgado, the Braves had to part with one of the most liked players in the organization in the person of Martin Prado. Prado was respected by fans and team mates alike because of his attitude and work ethic. In addition to being able to play every infield position, he had a perchance for being clutch. Not a big home-run hitter, he utilized the tools he had to spray the ball to all fields. He would on occasion hit the dramatic big fly but seemed to be just as content to hit a single the other way to move a runner over.
For sure, if the Arizona manager, Kirk Gibson, wanted a gritty player, he got one in the 29 year old Prado.
Now the only questions remain as to how well the combination of Juan Francisco and Chris Johnson are able to man the third base position which seemingly was to be held down by Marteen in the wake of Chipper Jones' retirement.
The Braves may have given up some defense with the addition of Johnson but Francisco has shone flashes of excellence at the hot corner. The reports out of winter ball have been very positive as to Long Juan in his effort to get into better playing shape. With the tremendous power one would wish to have in a third baseman, he appeared to have a bit of a lazy streak which cause the Reds to give up on the young Dominican and trade him to the Braves during spring training prior to the 2012 season. This after being the Reds heir apparent to play third on a full time basis in 2012 but Dusty Baker grew weary of Juan's apparent indifference to the Reds' directive to show up in shape. For sure, Dusty will not abide a lollygagger.
Now, spring training will soon be upon us. A better idea of what we can expect will become evident. There are holes always to be filled and a 162 game season can be a long and arduous journey. Injuries and mishaps along the way can turn promise into disappointments but for now, the folks in Braves Country are ready to get started and yearn to hear those two words,

These instructions will explain how to replace a drive belt on a Cub Cadet walk-behind mower. It's important to replace the drive belt if it is worn-out, cracked or torn. Waiting until the belt breaks to replace it can inconveniently delay your mowing. Depending on your model, the instructions listed below may vary slightly. Always be sure to check your operator's manual for detailed instructions.
Step 1 - Prepare the mower for maintenance
- Remove the spark plug and ignition wire.
- Drain the fuel tank using a siphon, or place plastic beneath the cap to prevent leakage. Until maintenance is complete, keep the fuel in a portable fuel container (PFC) that conforms to government guidelines.
- Tip the mower on its side with the air filter up.
- Remove the self-tapping screws from the side of the deck.
Step 2 - Remove the lawn mower blade and access the drive belt
- Wearing gloves for protection, secure the blade using the Universal Blade Removal Tool.
- Carefully remove the blade retaining bolt and then remove the blade.
- Remove the self-tapping screws that secure the engine baffle and mower drive belt cover to the deck. Next, remove the baffle and belt cover.
Step 3 - Remove and replace the mower drive belt
- Remove the drive belt from the blade adapter and drive pulley, then remove the blade adapter from the crankshaft.
- Working from the rear of the mower, carefully remove the mower drive belt from the transmission pulley.
- Push down on the deck baffle to access the engine pulley. Slide the drive belt off this pulley and out from under the deck.
- Replace with a new lawn mower drive belt. Work it between the deck and the baffle. First, route it around the transmission pulley and then around the engine pulley.
- Tighten the self-tapping screws that secure the deck baffle to the deck.
Step 4 - Reassemble the lawn mower for us
- Replace the engine baffle and secure it with the self-tapping screws.
- Wearing gloves, secure the blade using the Universal Blade Removal Tool. Replace the blade retaining bolt and blade adapter.
- Tip the mower back onto its wheels.
- Reattach the spark plug ignition wire, and refill the fuel tank.
Check your mower belt regularly for any signs of damage and remember to follow your operator's manual when performing any mower maintenance. It's also a good idea to keep a Cub Cadet replacement lawn mower drive belt on hand in case of an unexpected break. Non-OEM parts can wear out more quickly due to an imprecise fit, which could lead to more frequent repairs and less-than-optimal performance.
Always use genuine OEM replacement parts when servicing your equipment. Use our parts finder to locate and order any replacement parts you may need for maintenance. Refer to your owner's manual for additional maintenance information.

The Cure, Mumford and Sons to play Lollapalooza
CHICAGO — The Cure will make their first Lollapalooza appearance in the festival's more than 20-year history this summer, joining fellow headliners Mumford and Sons, The Killers and Nine Inch Nails, Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell announced Monday.
"It is so exciting to have The Cure at Lollapaloooza for the first time because I love The Cure and we've never had them," Farrell, also the lead singer of Jane's Addiction, said. "It's always frustrated me and made me feel incomplete and now I can feel complete and die."
Other acts among the lineup of some 130 bands include Phoenix, Thievery Corporation, Tegan and Sara, Cat Power, New Order and Lana Del Rey. Vampire Weekend will play the Aug. 2-4 festival in Chicago just months after their upcoming album, "Modern Vampires of the City," is released in May. The Lumineers, coming off last year's hit "Hey Ho," will also perform.
Nine Inch Nails played the original Lollapalooza in 1991 and last played the festival in 2008.
Mumford and Sons rises to a headlining spot this year. In 2010 they played in the middle of the day. Their latest album, "Babel," has sold more than 1 million copies.
"They are going to make their victory lap at Lollapalooza this year," Farrell said.
The lineup includes Lollapalooza's well-known mix of indie bands, singer-songwriters and country, hip-hop, rock and electronic acts. Musicians come from across the U.S. and the world, including countries like Australia, Brazil, Chile, Greece and Sweden.
"We don't look to stylize our lineup so much as we just stay away from pop garbage," said Farrell, who in the past has said he sees himself as a music curator when arranging each festival lineup.
"Sometimes it's not what I'm going to do. It's what I'm not going to do that sets your trend," he said.
In recent years, headliners have included Lady Gaga, Green Day, Eminem and Coldplay. The full lineup is available on Lollapalooza's website.
The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, the other major summer music festival in the U.S., has slotted Paul McCartney, Wilco and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as their headliners this year. Mumford and Sons are also playing Bonnaroo, to be held June 13-16 in Manchester, Tenn.
This year marks Lollapalooza's ninth anniversary in Chicago's lakefront Grant Park. Last year's festival sold out at 100,000 visitors a day, or 300,000 over the three-day event. Three-day passes priced at between $75 and $235 for this year are sold out. One-day passes are still available.

Florida man disappears into sinkhole under bedroom
Exterior of home remains intact, neighbours forced to evacuate
In a matter of seconds, the earth opened under Jeff Bush's bedroom and swallowed him up like something out of a horror movie. About the only thing left was the TV cable running down into the hole.
Bush, 37, was presumed dead Friday, the victim of a sinkhole — a hazard so common in Florida that state law requires home insurers to provide coverage against the danger.
'The floor was still giving in and the dirt was still going down, but I didn't care. I wanted to save my brother.'—Jeremy Bush
The sinkhole, estimated at six metres across and six metres deep, caused the home's concrete floor to cave in around 11 p.m. ET on Thursday as everyone in the Tampa-area house was turning in for the night. It gave way with a loud crash that sounded like a car hitting the house and brought Bush's brother running.
Jeremy Bush said he jumped into the hole but couldn't see his brother and had to be rescued himself by a sheriff's deputy who reached out and pulled him to safety as the ground crumbled around him.
"The floor was still giving in and the dirt was still going down, but I didn't care. I wanted to save my brother," Jeremy Bush said through tears Friday in a neighbor's yard. "But I just couldn't do nothing."
He added: "I could swear I heard him hollering my name to help him."
Recovery effort
Officials lowered equipment into the sinkhole and saw no signs of life, said Hillsborough County Fire Rescue spokeswoman Jessica Damico.
A dresser and the TV set had vanished down the hole, along with most of Bush's bed.
"All I could see was the cable wire running from the TV going down into the hole. I saw a corner of the bed and a corner of the box spring and the frame of the bed," Jeremy Bush said.
At a news conference Friday night, county administrator Mike Merrill described the home as "seriously unstable." He said no one can go in the home because officials were afraid of another collapse and losing more lives. The soil around the home was very soft and the sinkhole was expected to grow.
Engineers said they may have to demolish the small, sky-blue house, even though from the outside there appeared to be nothing wrong with the four-bedroom, concrete-wall structure, built in 1974.
Florida is highly prone to sinkholes because there are caverns below ground of limestone, a porous rock that easily dissolves in water. A sinkhole near Orlando grew to 120 metres across in 1981 and devoured five sports cars, most of two businesses, a three-bedroom house and the deep end of an Olympic-size swimming pool.
500 sinkholes
More than 500 sinkholes have been reported in Hillsborough County alone since the government started keeping track in 1954, according to the state's environmental agency.
Jeremy Bush said someone came out to the home a couple of months ago to check for sinkholes and other things, apparently for insurance purposes.
"He said there was nothing wrong with the house. Nothing. And a couple of months later, my brother dies. In a sinkhole," Bush said.
Six people were at the home at the time, including Jeremy Bush's wife and his 2-year-old daughter. The brothers worked maintenance jobs, including picking up trash along highways.

In Bekasi, another church is shuttered – again.
JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 6 (CDN) — The Gereja Kristen Indonesia (GKI) Taman Yasmin Church in Bogor, West Java has filed a religious discrimination appeal with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, church leaders said.
Since April 11 the congregation has held services on the roadside in front of the sealed church in stifling heat. The church pastor, the Rev. Ujang Tanusaputra, told Compass that the congregation has held Sunday services six times in front of the building that the mayor of Bogor sealed.
"We are going to continue worshipping by the roadside as part of the struggle to remove the seal," he told Compass.
Tanusaputra said that the church had received an official building permit from the Bogor City government.
"Yet, somehow, because of a group that objected to the presence of a church, our construction was stopped and later sealed," he said.
He said that even though the church brought suit against the sealing in court – and won – the congregation is not permitted to worship in the building, which is 80 percent completed.
Tanusaputra said he hopes the Lord will intervene to show that Indonesia is a country where laws are followed and all faiths may freely worship.
One of the church elders, Thomas Wadu Dara, said that before the church was constructed, and after the congregation had won the court case, there was a meeting with the Bogor mayor. The mayor told them to go ahead with construction and to build relations with the community so that their presence would be understood and accepted.
The construction was going smoothly until a Muslim group began demonstrating and the government sealed the building to appease them.
"I am greatly disappointed and cannot accept this reasoning in a law-abiding country," Wadu Dara said.
Wadu Dara said he hopes that the Bogor government will be firm and honor the decision of the court in Bandung, the provincial capital.
"I hope that the seal will be taken away and that we can finish construction," he said.
Jayadi Damanik, a member of the church's legal team, added that the sealing of the church is arbitrary and without legal basis.
"We have requested that the Bogor government be aware of the sealing and remove it," he said, adding that he was astonished that Bogor city officials were not obeying the Bandung provincial court decision in favor of the GKI Yasmin church.
The government wants people to obey the law, yet the government itself is not respecting the rule of law, Damanik added.
"This is most ironical in a law-abiding country such as Indonesia," he said.
On June 20 Compass visited the church's Sunday worship, where about 200 people met in a service limited to one hour. Approximately 100 policemen were present with at least 10 vehicles and nearby water cannon.
"If the building were unsealed, we wouldn't need such tight police security," said Wadu Dara.
During the service, a 20-year-old woman fainted from the heat of the sun.
Defying the Law
A survey by the denomination showed that there was a need for the church in the Taman Yasmin area. The Taman Yasmin Housing development had land zoned for a church, but that land was used for a worship place of another faith.
The GKI Yasmin development team purchased a 1,720-square meter commercial lot from PT Inti Inovaco and contacted community members, leaders, and civic groups regarding the construction of a church building. On March 10, 2002, the church had collected 170 signatures of citizens agreeing to the presence of a church on West Bogor Ring Road, Curug Mekar village, Bogor City.
The church canvassed the area six times between 2003 and 2006, holding public information meetings attended by hundreds of people, including youth and local leaders. It secured and submitted the necessary recommendations, and on July 13, 2006, the mayor of Bogor issued a decree granting GKI Yasmin a building permit.
On Aug. 18, 2006, the church held a public meeting with the head and the secretary of the Indonesian (Muslim) Cleric Elders (Majelis Ulama Indonesia Bogor), the West Bogor district officer, Muslim leaders, village heads, the chief and deputy chief of the West Bogor police and leaders of community organizations. The next day, a representative of the Bogor government who read a message from the mayor laid the church cornerstone.
Yet less than two months later, on Oct. 11, the church received a letter from the Bogor City secretary ordering the church to stop construction and move to another location.
On Dec. 6, 2006, the church received a letter from PT Inti Inovaco stating that the Taman Yasmin Housing area was not zoned for non-Muslim community facilities. The Taman Yasmin Great Mosque was using the land zoned for community facilities (its foundation had been laid). The church therefore decided to stay where it was, and on Jan. 10, 2007 laid the foundation for its building.
On Feb. 10, 2007 a demonstration took place in front of the Bogor City Legislature demanding that the church building permit be revoked. Four days later, the Bogor government sent a letter to the church freezing the building permit.
The church immediately reacted. It sent letters to the mayor, other involved government bodies, Muslim clerics and Islamic community organizations and filed a complaint with the national human rights commission.
The church argued that according to Article 6, paragraph 1 of Joint Ministerial Decree No. 8 and No. 9 (2006), there is no legal "freezing" of a permit. This decree says that a permit can be cancelled only through court proceedings. GKI Yasmin went to court.
On Sept. 4, 2008, the court in Bandung nullified the Bogor government letter "freezing" the building permit. Bogor City appealed the decision and lost. The Bandung court issued a letter on March 30, 2009 stating that Bogor City had exhausted all appeals.
With the legal issues cleared, the church resumed construction. On Jan. 8, 2010, however, the church received a threatening letter. A short time later, a band of people damaged a fence around the property.
On Feb. 25, Bogor Mayor Diani Budiarto retracted his recommendation for the project, citing community pressure and protests since the building permit had been issued in 2006. The church received a letter on March 8 from the Bogor government ordering that construction stop.
On March 11 the Bogor government hung a sign saying "sealed" on the fence without following legal procedures, so the church continued construction. Church leaders wrote a letter to police and a local military commander in April notifying them that worship services would start on April 11. On the day before this initial service, members of the church people were setting up chairs when police – in defiance of previous court decisions – arrived at 5 p.m., cut the lock on the gate, and replaced it with their own lock. They also placed a sign on the gate that read, "Sealed."
Since April 11 the congregation has been holding services in front of the fence by the roadside.
In Bekasi, Dialogue Fails and Another Church is Closed
JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 6 (Compass Direct News) – After failed dialog between Indonesian officials and representatives of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP) Podok Timur Indah Church in Bekasi City, West Java, government officials sealed the house where the church was meeting.
The church pastor, the Rev. Luspida Simanjuntak, said the church that was meeting in Mustika Jaya district had attempted talks with the government, but pressure from Islamic organizations, including the Islamic Defenders' Front, was so strong that the government could not stand up to it.
On June 20, Bekasi City officials sealed the building. Bekasi City Area Deputy Zaki Hoetomo admitted that the action was taken because of pressure from Islamic organizations upset by expanding Christian influence. Officials sealed it by placing a sign in front of the structure stating that it violated zoning, permit and construction regulations.
The church has been meeting in the house as the local government has delayed the processing of its application for a building permit.
Hoetomo said officials had contacted church leaders three times about the use of the house, but that there had been no response.
Members of the congregation wept as the building was sealed. Representatives of Islamic organizations, including the Anti-apostasy Forum of Bekasi, also witnessed the sealing.
Simanjuntak said the closure was unjust.
"How is it possible to forbid people to worship?" Simanjuntak told Compass, adding that the government was favoring the majority and neglecting others.
The pastor said the congregation will be firm and continue its regular worship at the place.
"We are going to stay at this house and worship according to our faith, even if we have to do it in the street," Simanjuntak said.
The church of 1,500 members has thrived in the Mustika Jaya district for four years, its building permit application bogged down in bureaucracy.

NBC appoints Seth Meyers as Jimmy Fallon's late-night replacement; premiere date not yet set
NEW YORK - Seth Meyers is moving from his "Weekend Update" desk to his own late night show on NBC.
The network said Sunday that the 12-year "Saturday Night Live" cast member will replace Jimmy Fallon at the 12:35 a.m. "Late Night" show next year. Fallon is moving up an hour as Jay Leno's replacement on the "Tonight" show.
Meyers was considered the lead candidate for the "Late Night" job ever since Fallon's promotion was announced. The announcement solidifies Lorne Michaels as the comedy kingmaker at NBC. He'll be the executive in charge of "Late Night," ''Tonight" and "Saturday Night Live," which will all originate from New York's Rockefeller Center.
Meyers, 39, has been the head writer at "Saturday Night Live" for eight seasons. He's in his seventh year as "Weekend Update" host, to which he devotes all of his on-air time now.
And like Fallon before him, Meyers is making the move from "Weekend Update" to "Late Night."
"We think Seth is one of the brightest, most insightful comedy writers and performers of his generation," said Bob Greenblatt, NBC entertainment chairman. His topical comedy is "perfect for the 'Late Night' franchise," he said.
Meyers is a Northwestern University graduate and began his comedy career in Chicago. His chief television competition will by Craig Ferguson on CBS and "Nightline" on ABC. Like television in general, the late-night audience has dispersed in several directions, with DVR viewing of shows taped earlier a big alternative at night.
Late-night comedy is one of the NBC's few strong suits, with "Saturday Night Live" often drawing a bigger audience than most of what the network airs in prime-time. With Meyers' appointment, NBC is hoping for a smooth transition to a younger generation.
"I only have to work for Lorne for five more years before I pay him back for the time I totaled his car," Meyers quipped. "12:30 on NBC has long been incredible real estate. I hope I can do it justice."

Andrew and Catherine Scott (cousins on the Growdon side of the family) are cycling around in South America, and have started a blog Two Scotts on the trot, where you can follow their adventures.
As they put it, "A trot, yes, but on our 'burros de aceros' (iron donkeys)… a "cheap-as-we-can" cycling-camping expedition around southern South America."
Thursday 20th August saw two firsts. We obtained our first hitchhike (owing to a nasty headwind and dry heat) with a friendly gentleman, an electrical engineer, who was heading as far as Wanda, which happened to be a perfect destination. It gave us enough distance to cycle to Iguazu, but without having to spend a week getting there. The drive also turned into a Spanish lesson. We unloaded in Wanda and gratefully thanked him. It was then we noticed Andrew's bicycle's back tyre was completely flat. Our first puncture.
